"To give money to children for helping out at home"

This is a thesis that appears again and again, and each time it is criticized and condemned.

However, I used this approach openly when I was preparing my second daughter for her junior high school entrance exam.

"She will receive 50 yen (coin), if she coudl recite Japanese history year/event pairs (500+) to the end without looking at anything and without making a single mistake"

We did this every day.

-----

The Ebata family called this method "air" because it was done without looking at anything and while facing the ceiling.

We have also extended this method to science and social studies in general.

Anyway, she was able to successfully pass the entrance exam to her school of choice.

For my second daughter and me, the 50 yen was not a reward, but a token, a 50 yen coin.

This method is a mindset that allows both parents and children to find meaning in collecting metal tokens, rather than the monetary value of 50 yen.

Therefore, I believe that this method is not the same as a "to give money to children for helping out at home"

Studying for exams is a tedious process for anyone.

Especially for elementary school students, adult logic does not apply.

This is because elementary school students are not adults.

Then, parents must try various ways to set the mindset of their children.

I know it's a hassle, and most of those will fail.

Nevertheless, parents live longer than their children, so they must continue to try their efforts.
